RESTRICTED SUBSTANCE LIST
VERSION 2.0 - May 2020
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 1 of 38 July 2020 RSL 2.0Introduction RSL 2.0 July 2020
G-Star is committed to producing high quality and responsably manufactured products and intends to only do business with suppliers that share our
commitment to make a strong product in a socially and environmentally conscious way. We outlined the minimum Social and Environmental, Health & Safety
(EHS) standards under which our products should be manufactured in the G-Star Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct refers to the G-Star
Restricted Substances List (RSL) as the basis for monitoring the use of chemicals in G-Star products.
The RSL applies to all products of G-Star Raw C.V. and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter ‘G-Star’), which includes ready-made garments, non-apparel,
accessories and packing materials. The RSL also applies to all materials, such as metal parts and trims for use in producing G-Star products.
Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) by 2020
Next to preventing the use of hazardous chemicals in our products, G-Star is also committed to eliminating industrial releases of hazardous chemicals into the
environment. We therefore set the target to reach zero discharge of hazardous chemicals from all our products and production processes by 2020.
With regards to limits set used for input chemicals and formulations, please refer to the latest version of ZDHC's Manufacturing Restricted Substance List
(MRSL), accessible at www.roadmaptozero.com/input . The document addresses hazardous substances potentially used and discharged into the
environment during manufacturing and related processes, not just those which could be present in finished products.
Purpose of the RSL
Our suppliers are critical partners in meeting our commitments regarding consumer safety, working conditions and environmental protection. The purpose of
the RSL for garment and fabric manufacturing is to inform our suppliers on all chemicals that are banned or restricted in G-Star finished products. Our
suppliers are expected to study this document carefully and communicate the information to relevant internal teams, sub-contractors and others involved
in the production of G-Star products.
Each supplier is required to declare and ensure that the materials, parts, trims, metal parts and other goods supplied or otherwise delivered for G-Star
products comply with the limitations described or referred to in the RSL and any additional requirements imposed by law or local authorities. The supplier is
also responsible for seeking guidance from G-Star in situations of doubt about product compliance with the RSL for garment and fabric manufacturing.
Compliance with this Restricted Substance List is a mandatory condition for each and every order placed by G-Star.

This Restricted Substances List (RSL) is intended to inform on worldwide regulations restricting or banning the use of chemicals in textile production and apparel products
including packaging materials and accessories attached to garments. In order to algin our RSL within the industry we have adapted the limit values of the different
organisations we work with, for example the ZDHC, but also our own enviromental goals.
Definitions
Article
An object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design, which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical composition (fibers,
textile fabrics, buttons, zippers, etc.).
CAS Number
CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical elements, compounds, polymers, biological sequences, mixtures and alloys. Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, assigns these identifiers to every chemical that has been described in the literature. The intention is to make
database searches more convenient, as chemicals often have many names. Almost all molecule databases today allow searching by CAS number.
Chemical Substance
A chemical element and its compounds with constant composition and properties. It is defined by the CAS number.
G-Star Restricted Limit
Document at hand defines consumer safety limits for chemical substances in articles.
The intentional use of these chemical substances along the manufacturing chain – starting from producing auxiliaries and dyestuffs – is not prohibited. Substances may
occur also in chemical products as a non-intentional residue. Nevertheless consumer safety limits must be kept at any time.
Usage Ban
For several chemical substances or substance groups a usage ban is defined. For these substances or substance groups intentional use in manufacturing of articles is
prohibited. That means that chemical products (e.g. colorants or textile auxiliaries) used for manufacturing of articles must not intentionally contain these substances or
substance groups.
The aim of a usage ban is to avoid release of harmful substances to the environment and to avoid occurrence in the manufactured article by applying the precautionary
principle.
